56-14 Waldron Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 56-14 Waldron Street in Corona, owned by Abhas Chaudhuri, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1991. Of particular concern are recurring heat and hot water problems, with documented incidents in April 2021, February 2022 (both affecting the entire building), and February 2022 (affecting individual apartments). The building has also faced multiple emergency complaints in 2022, including plumbing issues (basin/sink) and violations related to heat and hot water systems.

A series of violations were documented in February 2022 specifically affecting apartment 2B, including issues with self-closing doors, missing smoke detectors, and hot water supply problems. More recent complaints include an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage in August 2023, though no violations were issued after inspection. The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2017 and 2023, with mixed results including instances of rat activity in 2019, 2021, and April 2023, though it passed its most recent inspection in June 2023.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since this reporting requirement was implemented, with zero infestations reported in the past five years. Various other maintenance issues have been addressed over the years, including painting/plaster, flooring, and appliance concerns, most of which resulted in no violations after inspection. The building's most recent violation, recorded in August 2023, pertained to a broken or defective mortise lock, which was certified as corrected later that month.
